M.S. Yamasaki, Anchorage, AKMember Since January 2012Artist Statement Although I have no formal training, learning about plants is a passion of mine. I especially enjoy wild and native plants, and am very interested in ethnobotany. I feel very blessed to have lived in the gorgeous Pacific Northwest, which certainly has no shortage of fascinating plants, fungi, and wildlife for me to discover!

I upload the majority of my photos to Flickr.com, so I do have many more photos that are not displayed here. Have a look at my Flickr.com page (listed above) if you'd like, and if there are any photos there that interest you, feel free to let me know and I will do my best to make them available here!
